- World Championships : The best placed boats (maximum one boat per nation) qualify for the games. In the K-1 competitions, 5 qualification places are available, whereby an additional place is reserved for the host country on the 1000 m and 500 m courses for men and women, 6 quota places in the K-2 competitions, 10 in the K-4 competitions and 6 in the C-1 competitions (one of which over 1000 m event is reserved for the host country) and 8 in the C-2 competition.
